  • BADASS riff!!

  • one of my favs from the band...smash capitalism..cheers from nova scotia ,canada

  • this must be one of the songs that cobain ripped off.

  • I was into joke when they were in full tilt.

    Money was a song against the upcoming capitalism that was the 80's UK.

  • Yes, after 21 years this song is todays`reality, is money all in life?

  • i found a cassette of them in a car in a junk yard

  • loved this song for years...its not my god........smash capitalism,cheers from canada

  • the featured video on the suggestions is price tag by jessie j...amusing coincidence

  • ” The chaos on this planet is due to the music that musicians are playing, that they are forced to play by some who just think of money and don’t realize that music is a spiritual language that represents the people of earth….” - Sun Ra

  • I suppose some people have a few kids and then realise too late: "oh the world is fucked and I just added three more little problems to this mess, time to get political". Overpopulation, arguably is the only real problem with humanity, everything else (ie war, greed, rape, materialism) is just part and parcel of existence. Anyone with "an IQ of 230" wouldn't be breeding unless they were pure evil; good musician, though.

  • @blacknganga how is jazz breeding humans how many kids does he have go forth and multiply god says

  • @soulkiss1001 "god says"?? are you an idiot???

  • @blacknganga hey smartpants defend yourself how has jaz bred humans answer or shut up and go back to your moms basement blasphemy do you know what that means answer the 2 questions or SHUT up hahahahahahahahhahaha equip.org

  • @soulkiss1001 I love how you're using your faith as a crutch to fuck with people and be an asshole.

    You're sure showing us. Dipshit.

  • Coleman is very idealistic for a breeder.

  • @blacknganga please what does coleman breed? from the band killin joke youtube comment posts

  • @soulkiss1001 Human fucking beings, that what he breeds, just like most others who have failed to realise the planet is rather overpopulated.

  • @blacknganga i trust god that jesus will find a place for everyone please log on to  equip.org search abortion

  • uff, i love Killing Joke

  • I think this song pretty much sums up the band. They haven't been the most successful of musicians. This single didn't even get into the billboard. But they're still fucking going because they have a message, belief and a truckload of anger. I think Jonny Rotten and Iggy Pop should take their cues from these guys x

  • @KurtMcGowan Iggy Pop helped to invent this sort of music, his duties are done, end of story.

  • @blacknganga I appreciate that but going into advertising sort of says 'oh I was young then. I'm not angry anymore. It was all about the attitude. It was a phase'. That kinda sucks. Still love the guy tho x

  • @KurtMcGowan Iggy hasn't gone heavily into advertising anything, really. Like Rotten selling butter, bit odd, but he IS a spent force. Ozzy Osbourne and his reality TV show, I find that very distasteful by comparison.

  • @blacknganga Yeh that's true actually. Its just so depressing to see such a guy in an advert after a lifetime of 'I'm not gonna let anyone fuck me over' etc etc. I guess that was just all talk. But yeah it could be a hell of a lot worse. Btw I'm not saying Iggy and Jonny still have to be doing the crazy shit they did when they were younger. I respect that they're old. But surely there's better ways to make money? At least Jonny's honest about what he does.

  • @KurtMcGowan I hate anarchist sentiments, they're all full of shit, Rottens sentiments included. Anarchy is often good in effect, but nothing is more woeful than "the theory of anarchism" etc. Rotten selling butter, typical! -anarchist one day, corporate flogging boy the next. Anarchy is like socialism, not a bad thing, but really there is only one system, the one by which an "ecologically minded" and spartan livig fascist takes over government and somehow takes a lot of money off wealthy people

  • @blacknganga The sex pistols admitted they weren't really anarchists. It's just a song. I guess they read about it, got really excited and wrote a song. I like how you steered the discussion to politics! I'm not sure what system to believe in. I need to read up more on anarchy but I like the idea of no leaders. Anything's gotta be better than the system you've just described and where it could possibly go.

  • @KurtMcGowan No leaders is good for rapists, pedophiles, alpha males, money greedy people, enviromental vandals, capitalists, etc. our "leaders" do important jobs on the international scene, and some of our leaders are shit(s). We all have our own little jobs to do, and I think "ideological anachists" are just deluded folk who have lost a lot of control of their own lives. The only way forward is one by which the "green fascist" and supporters strip the bourgeoisie and upper class aspirants...

  • @blacknganga Aren't most people in positions of power also alpha males, money greedy people, capitalists and occasional paedophiles? Crime only exists because we live in a society where it pays.

  • @KurtMcGowan crime will always exist and "will always pay", I'm simply saying that anarchy in ok in effect for a few individuals, but we have come far too far with science and the scorching of the earth for anarchy to be held up as any sort of "big picture solution"; us apes would simply annihilate everything through anarchy; control is what is needed; "the green fascist" or we have no future as a species, our children.

  • @blacknganga can you explain to me the 'green facist'? I know there are some fuckers out there who just want to hurt people but... there are so many other people who I feel their potentials are being shut off by poverty and there's nothing to help them and a lot of people are ok with that. x

  • @KurtMcGowan Well the Green fascist is to do with the concept that if everyone on earth was consuming as much as America, Japan Australia, Europe etc, there would be the equivalent of 200 billion consumers

  • @blacknganga Oh yeah I was tod about that. If everybody in China wanted a car, a fridge and a newspaper, there would be no trees or steel left in the world. Bloody scary thought O_O

  • wow! what are polish banknotes doing here? nice to see :-)

  • GOD believe IN the POWER of MONEY

  • "Need a plasma TV" You'll find that many don't need but want because the best ones are fucking awesome, high definition Killing Joke playing live in your lounge any time you want.. Yeah iphone or "i"anything is bollocks, there's better for cheaper. Many would say that a £10k Hi-Fi is materialistic, but to someone that truly loves music & wants to hear it as close to how the band intended, it's all good.

  • what is relation between Killing Joke and SONY Enter-TainMen-T???seriosly I found that SONY own$ every fukin' Label on Earth.....great-Musika revolutionary PAINFULL TRUTH$.....See Hypocrisy-Living to Die from VIRUS album.... You know what it means?i'm sure You will understand

  • Booolshit,crazy anthem.All the pictures on money are pyramids and eyes,all seeing .They own our souls.Wake up and go back to sleep,peeps..

  • Sickly sweet response.i have many pictures of eyes on pyramids.Wonder why I'm so damned...

  • Jaz, Geordie, Youth & Big Paul: Please, come back to Madrid and honour the fire!

  • Check out MMII cover of this awesome track...Band is Pogo's (Marilyn Manson) new band!

  • Comment removed

  • @mistomen what were you smoking when you listened to both those songs? this sounds nothing like sin city

  • @mistomen what fucking bollocks,acdc are fucking two bob cunts.

  • @mistomen No it isn't you deaf idiot.

  • @mistomen You're a load that should've been swallowed!

  • hard to find someone who appreciates it.

  • IN THE USA BEFORE CONGRESS, THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE SENATE START THEIR DAY THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE PLAYED FULL TILT

  • @Facialcream13 it SHOULD be bit it WON'T be my friend

    First things first,repeat to yourself

    AHHH MONEY!, Money is not our God!

    Makes sense to me!

  • - The mighty KJ! Telling like it was and is many many moons ago...where are the KJs of the world now? They are needed more than ever...

  • this song and 'the wait are my favourite by them,and not because metallica covered it,i like the origional'the wait'old metallica is good but the new sucks bad,thier money hungary sell-outs

  • @804safety - haha! yeah they are...KJ makes their music inaccessible to most people. So they can never be sell outs.

  • In America,money is god.

  • @slicknicknirvana

    In Soviet Amerika...)

  • @slicknicknirvana

    Sad but true.

  • ...repeat to yourself...ALL THESE THINGS ARE MINE...quality

  • Apparently Geordie hated the production job on this album?! Maybe their second best LP after Revelations.

  • @MisAnnThorpe my opinion is that thier self titled [first album] is thier best.

  • @804safety And you are perfectly entitled to that opinion, however wrong that might be! Seriously though, I'm sure there are many who share your view.

  • @MisAnnThorpe what,you dont like thier first album,its a punk classic.

  • Comment removed

  • so try to make a living. and forgot about life. so true. America is falling into this hole.

  • Martin Atkins (PiL, NIN,Ministry, Pigface, etc.) on drums. A great line-up here, as usual.

  • Joke rule, forget al this "they were goth in the eighties" good to see people appreciating a true music. HAIL!

  • All true!!!! Down with the New World Order!

  • @junglemike72 well said brother,lets unite and fight against it.

  • why cant i give ten fucking stars!!!

    THAT SONG ROCKS !

  • A fine track, pounding drums from Atkins, Jaz spitting his bile, KJ in full effect!

  • "It's a blast for me...."

    It's going to be a blast for me also when I see KJ at the Paradise in Boston....

    Do you beg like a dog?

    Money is not our God....

    Perhaps SATA (N)...

  • @prozacpeople Fuck me, I must have been pissed when I wrote that clue.... I've absolutely no idea what it means. I've been trying to work it out myself, to no avail. Just ignore it lol.

  • Okay dude,money is great,but LOVE is key! Remember that...

  • @prozacpeople I'll try and remember that (tho I really Love to Hate)....still... i'll try me best and be a peachy soft Bastard ;-)

  • down with mamon!

  • MONEY IS NOT MY GOD !

  • this singer is insane too

  • because the subject of the song is insane ;)

    Lyrics on this album are really interesting, you should read it.

  • vibrating. Unfuckingreal!

  • May u recognize all of the notes?

  • Good stuff , this is what noise is supposed to sound like . Beautiful .

    I just turned 60 been playing since 1964

    This is beautiful , Mich Ryder and the Detroit Wheels on steroids , y'all hit the sweet spot on this , So relaxing when everyone is on time.

    Picked me up big time . Nice . I loved it ,

  • @sadhouse: Thank you for giving that sound a name. That way I know what to call that stuff that I could never stand because of its noisiness and lack of dynamics.

  • this singer is insane !

  • wat makes this so cool is that they are obviously a succesful band who today still do not subscribe to the false reality that money makes a huge difference,which of course it doesnt,just travel somewhere far away and look at the smiles on the faces of the poor.

  • you're = you are

  • @GetALife747 actually as someone who been to africa on mission work - children in africa who are stricken by disease poverty death all around are more joyous than spoiled rotten little american and european kids by far! They appreciate the smallest things unlike your typical kid in the states who screams and yells until mommy and daddy buys him what he wants!

  • @salvadory I wish Americans would not refer to to people 'across the pond' as 'Europeans', really annoying

  • @jsr1k why not? because you're all special individual snowflakes? fuck! thats why we left that fucking disaster of endless warfare, starvation, and nationalist bigotry.

  • @LongDongSilver666

    no of course you're right, you (i.e. europeans 300 years ago) fucked off to a big country to rape burn and pillage its original inhabitants, and then u waited 80 years or so to amend the bill of rights and give black people the right to "freedom", you're colonised by the fucking bigoted europeans you arse

  • @salvadory Not only america, europe as well...

    Possession is something really occidental. Possession means having a place in society, a lot of people needs fucking plasma tv, fucking I phone or other useless thing, which is sad .... but hopefully were not all like this, ive never screamed for something !

  • @beforethree Most people have screamed at somepoint in their life... I (like many other people) gave my first scream when a nurse held me upside down and slapped my arse just 30 seconds after i'd slopped out of my Mother's womb.

  • @zazen7 ok then please consider sponsering a child from compassion international and log on to equip.org

  • Saw them at CB's back in the day. Prophetic.

  • KJ the MOFOS of Industrial!

  • Doesn't get much better than this.

  • Saw them on this tour, fucking great band.

  • all these years later, and I am still pissed that I missed them at the Ritz in NYC. Martin Atkins and Killing Joke, say no more!

  • Brilliant absolutely fucking amazing.

  • Awesome, thanks for posting this, reminded me of the most memorable gig I've ever been to when the album was released - it built up to such a climax it actually felt like the world was about to end! That's never happened to me before or since...

  • I saw them on this tour. Absolutely incredible.

  • As a teen i suppose..;)

  • First time I heard this was on one of the best BMX vids ever Etnies "forward".

  • Simply an amazing unique band. I am a big fan of Faith No More,  and you can see the influence Killing Joke has given bands of that nature. Brilliant.....

  • the best things in life are free :)

  • This is One of the finest of it's time!! Fuck yeah and repeat!

  • an interesting opinion but i feel that you've got the details the wrong way round,

    happy viewing

  • It was just a bit too focused and powerful and straight-forward for the mainstream.

    That's all.

  • One of the best album of this band.

  • Is that Martin Atkins drumming?

  • Yep :)

  • yup

  • this song was the closest chance for KJ to be a "breakthrough" band. convinced me but not enough others

  • Comment removed

  • fukkin album and a half. killing joke fukking rule.

  • I guess i wasn't all the way right. After a little research, i found that people don't really know if they tried to sue Nirvana or not, but Killing Joke told Rolling Stone they weren't. I just said the other because that's what i heard originally.

  • Wow, this was back when one could legally own firearms in the UK. Cool. Killing Joke rules!

  • You hear it for the first time (in 1990), and it's completely different from anything you've heard before. Well it's gotta be by somebody accomplished, who's done this kind of thing before, because it's so freaking advanced. Huh, it sounds a little bit like..., could it be...?

  • I hate it when purple goo splurges all over the video. Has anyone else had that happen?

  • yeh I hate it when that happens it messes up the tape

  • "so busy trying to make a living, I forget about life"

  • I'm sorry for everyone that thinks this is related to any kind of musician.......

    It stands alone!!!!!!

  • One off the best album they ever did i think,"extremities dirt and various repressed emotions". jaz,ive read,was going to sue nirvana for "come as you are" but kurt brought that action to an end by his demise.cant imagine Madonna covering this one can you?

  • hey permaveg, actually jaz was honored that kurt would take the guitar riff. at least jaz isn't a total jerk.

  • If he was honored, why did he sue Nirvana and dropped the charge after Cobain died?

  • He was not honoured. Cobain should just have given the credits for the riff.....Maybe it escaped all of you, but Dave Grohl admitted it 9the stolen riff) and played the drums on Killing Joke's 2003 album. GREAT Album! That's the way grown up man with a heart solve these things. period.

  • I used to have this video dubbed off on a VHS tape when it came out. It was followed by Napalm Death's - Mass Appeal Madness.....wicked combo. Watch the 2 back to back for a head rush.

  • Martin Atkins on drums!! great fucking song :)

  • is it me, or does it sound like REVCO'S "attackships on fire" ????

  • Killing Joke was the shit a decade before when Kurt was shitting in a diaper. Go get a clue.

  • AMEN !!!!!!

  • For those that think this is Nirvana inspired music, it's really the other way around.

  • It is as the Cure but with essence.

  • sounds more like an angry version of the cure.

  • For those of you who think this is Nirvana inspired music, this song was released in 1990, Radio shifter friendly unit was released in 1993. And money is not our God. One might say it is the route of all evil.

  • thats right. its not our god

  • Oh, you sound so wise.

  • explain how. come on. give one good reason why it's better.

  • Fuck off idiot!

  • Watch out for brainless racist wankers on youtube.

    Fuck off.

  • RADIO FRIENDLY UNIT SHIFTER

  • Ha! You're right! This is the first time I heard anythin' from this album.

  • you re right!!

    Nirvana once more inspired by KJ

  • Dollars are toilet papers XD

  • very apt indeed

  • It doesn't get better than this. And it's feckin awesome live.

  • dude even after they were almost falling apart after Outside the Gates because Colman fired some members, they just explode with this energy in the 90s and songs like this show wat Killing Joke is all about!!!!!!!

  • Killing Joke - so looking forward to seeing them next week in London - what a tune this is!

  • dude im looking for to their new album next spring...i hear ya in the States

    I HEAR YA BROTHA!!!

  • Are they a english band?

  • Yeah, they're English. Saw them on Friday night in London - truly awesome! There are some vids of the Fri/Sat night posted on You Tube - type Kiling Joke Forum and they'll be up.

  • killing joke was an influence for nirvana morons just like pixies too!!!

  • This really does sound like Nirvana's "radio Friendly Unit Shifter"

  • compare radio friendly to pil's annalisa...

  • RadioFriendlyUnitShifter-1993

    MoneyIsNotOurGod-1990

    Another case of amnesia from Nirvana junkies-remember ComeAsYouAre anyone??

    Doh!!!!!!

  • I'm not saying Radio Friendly Unit Shifter was made first I'm just saying I like it better. I like this song too.

  • this was a great fucking tour.

  • Killing Joke at their best in the nineties. Here they are with the Extremities album. Which by the way was released by Noise International (the same label that signed Celtic Frost, Voivod, Kreator, Rage, Coroner, and even Helloween/Gamma Ray). But anyway, I have everything that has to do with this album (Extremities boxset, Inside Extremities album, and shirt). The Joke will never die!!!!
